Look at what the boy did:

Hello friends and family,

I'm sure many of you have seen the following picture via facebook, but I still couldn't resist posting it up on here! So my darling Michael got me these flowers!! Roses and Orchids (my favorite!). It was so sweet! They decided to get sad and droopy since he left on Thursday, maybe they feed off of my mood? LOL. Anyways, enjoy the picture! I'll enjoy their last few moments of life tonight!


Next picture: So I bought my very first desk! Woot! So proud...tear. Good 'ol IKEA! :D Annnyways, Mike set it up for me after church on Sunday, while I was at a birthday party, and as he got me from the birthday party, and we were driving to my place, he said that it was missing two screws, and may be a bit wobbly but he thinks it will be okay. Of course I believed him! Then he said that he didn't put anything on the desk or anything and that I could do it when I got home. I was just grateful to have it put together and I didn't have to do anything!! Soooo when I got home, this is what I walked into my room to find:

He set it all up for me! Not going to lie, I was a little shocked he could set up all the wires for the computer and printer, which, I think might have hurt his man-ego, but hey! I wouldn't be able to operate a crane, right? That's my logic and I'm sticking to it!!!

Anyways, just wanted to show off how sweet I'm being treated with you all.

Here is a little love for you to all enjoy:

What HAPPENED!

Ladies and gentlemen,

Rest assured, I am alive and well, the good 'ol Earth Science teacher has not gotten to me yet!

We sat down with the Dean of Student Affairs, and he most defiantly agreed with everything we said; that how she spoke to Renee was inappropriate and not professional, and that she had no right to take the lab manual away...

All in all, he is going to discuss the matter with the Dean of Academics, and discuss that if she (teacher) doesn't want people having lab manuals she needs to take them away at the end of each semester... and that we should ask for it back.

So, we did today. Well Renee did, since it was hers, but I stood there as back-up just in case! The teacher wasn't going to give it to us... but she did in the end, and said that Renee needed to keep it at home!

So, we are still going to talk to the Dean, and get him to still do something about the way she spoke to Renee.

He did say that if she continues treating us like that, we should file harassment, although he hopes (so do WE!) that it doesn't come to that...

All in all, I feel much better about the situation. I just need to work my butt off in this class!! I really want at least a B! So, we will see!

Thanks for all having my back hahaha. I appreciate it! :)

Love love love,
ME!

Down to YOU Earth Sciences

Good Afternoon my darling friends and family,

So, for those of you who do not know, I have had a little run in with a certain teacher, in the subject mentioned above.

Regardless of this run in I am currently still in this class. It is pretty awful when a professors says that as soon as you walked into her class she knew you'd fail. I'll just have to prove her wrong I suppose....

Me and my friend have a meeting with a Dean tomorrow, so fingers crossed for that!

My dad said that worse comes to worse, he'll put a huge cross around his neck, and Adam and Mike can be his back up and they will go confront her for me.

I love my family!!!

Anyways, there is the latest. If all else fails (which I hope isn't the luck for me and my transcript!) I shall just drop the class.

We'll see how it all plays out!

Muah!

Your dearest friend,

What to do...

I hate not knowing what to do with situations in life...

Which I guess is life in general basically... but why can't one situation pop up at a time? And then you could deal with it and move on to the next one.

I'd rather that then a truck load smushing me beneath all the weight of multiple things.

One thing that I, Ruth Stewart need to learn to do: Let things go!

Hmmm......did that make sense?

<3 Me

Anticipation...

It's the bubbly, butterflies, want to throw up, bouncing up and down, palms getting sweaty, toes squirming, constantly looking at the clock, taking deep breath kinda feeling...

Wouldn't replace it for anything!

La la la

Well hello ladies and gentlemen,

I realize I've been away for a while now, and I know you all must be in pain from crying so much, it's to be expected really...

I do have a bit of good news however! After trying to cut back on a few things I had planned and realizing that come Feb. 1st I might not be able to get a bus pass (oh the life of a student!), my mom called and told me I got a Bursary in the mail! Yay for free money... oh how I love thee.

So that is definitely a plus to my day! Along with, my new music class. I know the thought of music theory sounds atrocious to some of you, but I adore my music class.

First day notes: Basic theory!

I love my teacher, I love the lessons, I love how she teaches. Every Tuesday and Thursday I know I dread going, just simply because Thursday I have an Earth Science lab at 8 so I never want to wake up then, and Tuesday, music is the only class, smack in the middle of my day, so it's hard to feel motivated to get ready for ONE class. Nevertheless, every time I get to class, I sit there and realize all over again how much I love it. The teacher plays songs on her ipod and every lecture we watch (sadly only HALF) of youtube music videos, and apply what she is talking about to music we actually listen to. I've discovered some great artists in the meantime. Here are some links to check out:

Anyways, I love you all dearly,
Hope you are having a splendid Tuesday,

Your music-happy friend,
